The lives of seven Christian women who did extraordinary things remind us of the miracles God can work in the lives of ordinary people. There is a great need in the church to study the lives of intelligent, capable, godly women from the past. Reading about such a women can encourage and challenge today's women to make a difference for Christ among their families, in the church, and throughout the world. Noel Piper shares seven biographies of Christian women whom God used to do extraordinary things, with the aim of helping readers to gain wisdom from their examples. She uses excepts from letters and journals to add rich detail to each woman's amazing story. Those women studied include Sarah Edwards, wife of one of America's most renowned preachers, Jonathan Edwards; and Betsy Stockton, former slave who became the first unmarried female missionary of the modern missionary movement.
